    • ImpaleInflicts Physical damage to an enemy every 3 sec. for 12 sec.
    • Head CrackReduces an enemy's Stamina by 1 for 20 sec.
    • Warlord's Rage

    The naga warlord. He channels from his distillers to gain Warlord's Rage, reflects spells, impales and head-cracks the tank.

    Tanks
    Hold him in the middle so the distillers are easy to reach.
    Healers
    Head Crack weakens the tank's stamina: heal through it and keep the tank high.
    Damage dealers
    Destroy the distiller he channels from immediately; casters stop when Spell Reflection is up.

Before you go

  • Interrupt healing naga and avoid pulling patrols while fighting on narrow platforms.
  • Use both control panels before heading toward the final room.
  • No Normal key. Activate the control panels after Hydromancer Thespia and Mekgineer Steamrigger to open Kalithresh's route. Heroic requires the Reservoir Key.
